ISLAMABAD (AP) — An official says forestry guards are reporting at least five people have been killed in a plane crash in Pakistan. That toll is likely to rise significantly.
The Airblue passenger jet that crashed into the Margalla Hills surrounding Pakistan’s capital, Islamabad, was carrying 152 people. Rescuers were trying to reach the scene amid rain and difficult roads Wednesday morning.
Imtiaz Inayat Ali, chairman of Capital Development Authority, said the forestry guards were trying to find survivors but that they had seen five bodies so far.
